Linvoy Primus - Transformed

Product Information

Following his testimonial on 31 July 2010, Portsmouth announced that the Milton End Stand at Fratton Park would be renamed the 'Linvoy Primus Community Stand' because of his outstanding services to the club. Charlton Athletic arranged a friendly match with Pretoria and Primus was offered the chance to join the Charlton associate schoolboys which he took. I know God has an amazing plan for my future and that He will continue to use my football gifting for His glory. After a defeat to Crystal Palace (which Primus described as the "lowest point of [his] career"), [41] Portsmouth needed a victory over Barnsley to stay in Division One and they duly won 3–0 with Huddersfield being relegated after their final day defeat.

In the second game of the 1994–95 season against Leyton Orient, Primus made his debut as a substitute coming on for the injured Mark Newson. Gilmore's groin ruled him out of action for five months from November of that season, [37] during which Claridge was replaced by Graham Rix, [39] this was after Primus formed a partnership with Jamaican international Darren Moore. The footballer said in his autobiography, "Up until then I had been the model son and had brought no trouble to their door, but now they were upset at what they saw as my rebellion". Barnet had a poor start to the next season and they were at the bottom of the table in mid-September.Primus was born the first child of Newton and Pauline Primus in Forest Gate Hospital, Forest Gate, Greater London on 14 September 1973. Primus was promised an improved contract, however no such contract was given to him over the summer. Portsmouth were still near the relegation zone after a poor run of form that also saw Primus being sent off for the first time in his career for a foul on Fulham's Louis Saha. After finishing his GCSEs, where he achieved three A grades, [11] Primus signed a two-year apprenticeship with Charlton.

Linvoy Primus played professional football for 16 years including nine years for Portsmouth where he became a cult hero. Due to injuries to first team centre backs Simon Webster and Darren Pitcher, Primus made his professional debut against Birmingham City. Although Primus was a regular member of Perrin's team at the end of the 2004–05 season and captained the side on occasions during pre-season, he rarely featured until Perrin's sacking in November.In Primus' early teenage years he played for his local Sunday league football club, Pretoria, based in Canning Town after being introduced by a school friend. Pulis was sacked early on in the 2000–01 season after a poor start and was replaced by fans' favourite Steve Claridge.

Following my time at Charlton Athletic as a young footballer and my other experiences at Barnet FC and Reading FC I realised that football could be a hard and heartless industry and that fame and fortune does not make you happy. As a mainstay in the heart of Redknapp’s defence, Portsmouth fans will have played their part in some of Linvoy’s fondest memories – including Pompey’s surprise promotion to the Premier League in 2003, and famous victories over Manchester United and Liverpool.The following season saw Primus remain a regular member of the Portsmouth team under first Redknapp and then both his successors, Velimir Zajec and Alain Perrin.
